So it seems the body types for this game have finally been revealed, gender non binary 1 and gender non binary 2 with no real sliders to customize these body types further. Don't get me wrong I was kind of expecting this to be the case as when you introduce variable sliders to body types clipping issues between various items of clothing become more pronounced and CDPR look more focused on getting everything looking the best it can be and avoiding those clipping issues at the expense of customization, however with the variance in the body types of many of the other characters shown so far I was kind of hoping that the player would get a little more choice in their character's body type other than the lithe body type shown so far.
I mean sure the body type makes sense if the character is an agile hacker but if you are going for the strong solo type it does not make as much sense for that body type to be manhandling members of the animals gang who are much bigger than you and even going toe to toe with an absolute unit like Sasquatch. Was kind of hoping for a little more option regarding body types.
In fact I do have to say I am a little concerned about customization in general, I know not everything has been shown however when you look at some of the more unique character models such as the massively roided up Sasquatch or the maelstrom gang with half their face missing due to having their eyes replaced with big glowing optical sensors it would be a little bit of a letdown if the only option we have is to play as a Gap clothing model with a little bit of surface wiring showing through.
I mean reading through the source material with all the potential exotic cosmetic mods such as chrome skins and the ability to turn your character into a furry it would be nice to see some of the more bizzare and unique options be made available to the player instead of just being limited to NPC characters. I know game design is an expensive process and only so much can be done, however there are a lot of people looking forward to the customization options in the game (despite a lack of 3rd person), is there anyone able to confirm there will be more exotic customization options or at the very least let us down gently and temper our expectations regarding customization?
That said I will say the underwear at least is looking a little more comfortable now, so kudos for that!
